You don't often make good points, but when you finally do, you hit it right on the nose.

Hey, don't forget Article 2.  :mad:

I hope you get annoyed by a homeless dude today on your way to your bullshit job.

This post does not seem to live up to the standard of discourse you like to hold other posters to.

I mean, it was kind of funny but it was also the kind of personal attack you frame as bullying when directed at posters you agree with.

I don't have Yi's patience to turn the other cheek perpetually.  Zoupa has cussed me out unprovoked repeatedly, to the point that I don't engage in any kind of discourse with him anymore, but I indulged to respond in kind just this one time.  I don't consider it bullying, because for one it was a single post by a single poster, not a campaign of harassment by a clique.

You know what would help, though?  If you directed these kinds of posts at the posters you agree with.  You've had a few opportunities just in the last day in this thread, but it was only my post where you decided to talk about the tone.  Or is your stance that cussing out people is fine, as long as it's done by people who don't speak out against it?

Trump only violates Article 1 because it is there.  If Article 1 required threats, he'd refuse to utter them.

There's always the issue that we have different expectations of different posters. We expect the emo kids to be emo, so their emo posts don't surprise or seem worthy of constant condemnation for being constantly emo.

For what it's worth, I thought that you made an excellent jab that obviously hit the bullseye.  We don't agree on a lot, but we agree on that.

Those both suggest a symmetry that I don't believe exists.

We can all be dicks, some more than others, but I don't think theres an asymmetry when we devolve to bitch fests. We're all equally powerful and powerless. I mean I guess you can carve out Jacob and Baron, but they're pretty chill all things considered.
